    Volleyball will definitely help you lose the weight! Remember to train even during the off season- it's a good time to do other conditioning because during the season you'll want to be focused mostly on the game.

    For flat tummies, remembering bloating is an issue. I find that when I increase my potassium intake and lower my sodium, my waist drops about half an inch to an inch of bloating. So- drink your water, and eat lots of veggies and fruits and avoid processed foods!
  • cardio for sure will help. Cut back on the carbs. mfp says you should eat 55% of your calories from carbs but you don't need to. Its healthy and efficient to get the majority of your calories from protein. Processed white carbs gets stored as belly fat so avoid white rice, white, bread and pasta.
